Great idea - needs diary card! Update - rather ineffective without a diary card. Decreased rating. This is a wonderful idea although somewhat clumsy implementation. I took off one star for lack of a diary card, one star for no Kindle Fire version (I rooted my kindle in part so I could use this app!), one star for less than stellar UI and one star for all the spelling errors/typos. I added back a star because it's such a wonderful concept.

Not very helpful I want a refund for this app. I am doing DBT and this app isn't useful. It crashes for a start. It is useless without diary cards anyway and apart from explaining emotions and mindfulness it doesn't actually give practical use. Good idea, but could be way more useful if the developers made changes and added some valuable practice tabs and diary card extensions. I wish I had refunded it within the 15 minute period.

Perfect tool I am currently in dbt therapy, and this ap is a perfect supplement for when I need to be reminded of these invaluable skills. Very worthwhile for anyone who is or is not in therapy and could use some help and guidance in navigating painful or intense emotions, tough memories, relationship issues, or any other situation that may be difficult without some helpful direction. This ap is practical, easy to use, and an excellent value. I would love to see the incorporation of a diary card with this ap.

Great idea needing further development The concept is great, although the missing diary card is a problem. Font is hard to read (scaleability would be useful). Navigation is a nightmare, although that is partly a function of the complexity of DBT. There is a problem with responsiveness on my low end, 7" tab (Amicroe), and the Crisis List doesn't work on anything. For all that, there is a lot of useful information and it is still worth it. Audio tracks as additional content would be useful as well as a bigger range of writing exercises to respond to the skills components.

Disappointed I find myself disappointed that I paid for this app. It has good information, but is not user friendly. Also, I emailed the creator MONTHS ago about integrating a diary card. I was told it was in the process, but have not seen one added. Super disappointed, wish I could get my money back.

Excellent This has been THE most useful app for practicing DBT skills especially since using it on the Nexus 7 tab. The tabs and directions are clear and it is easy to follow the menu path to where I want to go. I also like the notes feature. It helps me become calm when I really need it. A must for every DBT participant.

looks good I've been turned off by the price tag for DBT therapy and found this app recently. It has a good interface and useful information. I haven't used it enough to give it a fair rating yet, but I'll be back after finishing a few sections. It is so wonderful to have such a great tool in an app. :-)

Awesome I am currently in a DBT class. Having this App on my android phone is so cool. I can have it with me at all times, without carrying around the manual. It's going to be so convenient. It's easy to follow. GREAT APP. TINA M

Great Job! This is an excellent app, The information is accurate and concise. Please guys can you do the exact same platform for ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) That would be an outstanding achievement indeed!

The info was good but... The interactive features didn't work. Anytime I tried to add a skill to a list or create a custom list an error msg appeared. No diary cards makes this even less interactive. I-phone has an app that works, has the cards, and is free. What's up with that?

DBT Mindfulness Skills are meant to: - Merging your Logical and Emotional Mind, allowing you to see the world as it is. - Helping you to do other DBT Skills more effectively - Increase your awareness and improve your decision making skills

With Eight (8) Brand-New DBT Tools, being Mindful will become second nature on a day-to-day basis. Not only will these skills improve your DBT Training, but their benefits will be seen for years and years to come. Here is exactly what our tools are in this module:

- Observe: Fundamentally, as a living organism, you need to be aware of your surroundings. Inner, and outer of course. Practice in a fun little game that flips your brain back and forth between different senses. After all, without our 5 senses, and our inner senses (feeling, emotion, urges, sensations, etc), how can we know what is true?- Describe: Once you can observe the world as it is, without putting labels on it, comes in your unique ability as a human: being able to give names to things and describe them. Being able to create inner communication by describing what we see is essential to adulthood. You won't be very functional if you cannot organize, categorize, and describe your inner and outer world to yourself, or others. Play an interactive game that helps you describe using Visuals, Sounds, and Feelings. Also check out a video that shows you how you can practice Describe when you are just out and about.- Participate: Learn to participate in a Math game that takes you from using your logic, to using your emotions and memory, to using your physical sense of touch to participate in the game you are doing. Also learn how to participate in your day to day life when you aren't in the app.- Non-Judgemental: Read a series of judgmental diary entries, and reword them yourself as practice. Then when you are done, compare how you did with our own non-judgmental interpretations of the diary entries. Also learn how non-judgment is use as a skill, and not as a moral compass or lifestyle.- One Mindfully: Practice focusing on one thing at a time. Come up with small things to do one at a time and use our tool to help you focus in set intervals on things you actually CAN focus on. One Mindfully is about settling the brain from our need to Multitask and/or always be thinking about what we should have done, and what needs to be done.- Effectively: Go through a series of yes or no questions in a little game that measures your ability to see whether a person is being effective or not. Now remember, being effective is about doing what gets you what you want, and not simply about working hard, or doing the 'right thing'.- Breath: Practice breathing exercises that can help calm your nerves and become more mindful almost instantly.- Acceptance: Use our acceptance tool to learn how to accept things. We can't accept everything, can you accept that? Well acceptance is taken one step at a time. Use our tool to help you accept one thing at a time, and only the things we really can accept.

Finally, and not an actual tool, is a describe of what Wise Mind is. Just hearing this term makes it seem like it is something amazing, and possibly mystical. We'll help dispel the illusions around it and explain what it really is. Not only that, but what it is good for, what it isn't good for, and how it fits into your life in a practical sense.

Oh and of course, most of our tools have a log so that you can see how you did, changes over time, and how effective each skill is for you personally.

** Please note that although this app was originally created with an intended audience of DBT Dialectic Behavioral Therapy Students, this app could also be used by instructors as well. It can also be used in conjunction with a CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program as well and is great for people with BPD, aka Borderline Personality Disorder, or Depression.

Borderline personality disorder is a serious mental illness marked by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. In 1980, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III) listed borderline personality disorder as a diagnosable illness for the first time. Most psychiatrists and other mental health professionals use the DSM to diagnose mental illnesses.

Because some people with severe borderline personality disorder have brief psychotic episodes, experts originally thought of this illness as atypical, or borderline, versions of other mental disorders.

While mental health experts now generally agree that the name “borderline personality disorder” is misleading, a more accurate term does not exist yet.

Most people who have borderline personality disorder suffer from:- Problems with regulating emotions and thoughts- Impulsive and reckless behavior- Unstable relationships with other people.

People with this disorder also have high rates of co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and eating disorders, along with self-harm, suicidal behaviors, and completed suicides.

According to data from a subsample of participants in a national survey on mental disorders, about 1.6 percent of adults in the United States have borderline personality disorder in a given year.

Borderline personality disorder is often viewed as difficult to treat. However, recent research shows that borderline personality disorder can be treated effectively, and that many people with this illness improve over time.

Inside this application :- What is borderline personality disorder?- What are the symptoms of borderline personality disorder?- How is borderline personality disorder diagnosed?- What studies are being done to improve the diagnosis of BPD?- What are the risk factors for borderline personality disorder?- When Does Borderline Personality Disorder Start?- What illnesses often co-exist with borderline personality disorder?- How is borderline personality disorder treated?- Where can I go for help?- How can I help a friend or relative who has borderline personality disorder?- How can I help myself if I have borderline personality disorder?- What if I or someone I know is in crisis?- Video - Borderline Personality Disorder- Video - A Patients's view- Video - A Clinician's view- Calendar- Notes- Game - Puzzle- Game - Memory- Best Offer

DBT Distress Tolerance Skills are meant to: - Get through moments of intense emotion WITHOUT MAKING THINGS WORSE - Sometimes you can't make things better, but you can brave the storm.DBT Distress Tolerance Skills are NOT for: - Making your life worth living - Long term changes

With Eight (8) Brand-New DBT Tools, Distress Tolerance will come easy. Sometimes it's the little things that really make the big difference (like learning to tolerate moments of extreme emotion) Here's what each tool does for you:

- Why Tolerate: Learn why tolerating is EXTREMELY Important. The first time I heard about Distress Tolerance Skills, I thought it sounded POINTLESS. Why learn to just tolerate? If you have that same attitude, this is a MUST. Less of a tool, but more of an in-depth explanation which may open your eyes to why these skills are that important for anyone who finds themselves in a DBT Class (or even pondering taking a DBT Class).- Pros & Cons: Go through a series of questionnaire to help you figure out the Pros & Cons of destructive behavior. Maybe you have self-harm habits, or maybe you just have a habit of getting into fights. Whatever the reason, Pros & Cons helps you reduce problematic behavior without simple Will-Power.- Acceptance: Sometimes we're in a situation where we cannot will ourselves, nor use logic, to calm ourselves down. We don't have the time or the resources to improve our situation. And all our minds are doing is giving us more and more pain. Radical Acceptance is not giving up, nor is it accepting defeat. It is accepting REALITY, and not simply what our brains are telling us is reality. A GREAT Tool to use 5 minutes a day.- Allow: Our minds can take hold of us. But can you emotionally decipher the difference between the story we tell ourselves, and reality? Learning to Allow Our Thoughts can help us to understand that YES, we have thoughts, and YES, they influence us. But NO, they aren't always an accurate reflection of reality. The only thing they are 100% accurate about is that they are thoughts. Learn to play with your thoughts and see them as they really are.- Distract, Soothe, & Improve: When we are really riled up, there is no way we can be too logical about doing the right thing. But what if we had a simple list of things WE knew that we actually would enjoy doing to get through hard times? Use this tool to generate and recall easy-to-do actions to help tolerate distress. - Body Temperature: Did you know that your body temperature can be the straw that breaks the camel's back? I don't know how many times since I first started DBT that I've changed my body temperature, and thus, avoided a huge fight and waste of a night with my spouse. Learn how this works, and what you can easily do, as an individual, to make body temperature work FOR you.- Hard Exercise: Some of us LOVE exercise. Some of us HATE it. Some of us have notions about how it has to be. Whatever the reason, exercise has many many benefits. But what if you could harness the greatest EMOTIONAL benefits from them to help you tolerate a stressful moment (and at the same time use as little of your precious time, energy, and willpower as possible)?- Progressive Relaxation: If you aren't already doing thing, you really need to! Not only can it help temper your mood at any time, but it can also turn around your mood in just a few minutes. Luckily, this is a skill you will probably use the rest of your life if you ever have trouble sleeping, because it is AWESOME for helping you sleep. Great side benefit!

All tools have a built in Save Function. So every time you use a tool, your records will be updated and you will be able to look back at the tool's conclusions.

Many of our thoughts are automatic thoughts and much of it is often negative, which then creates negative thoughts and feelings. Using affirmations can change your thought patterns. This application contains affirmations that you can use to break the negative automatic thoughts.

Positive affirmations will strengthen you and the training they are taken up by the subconscious mind and you start to think more positively, which can provide more positive feelings. By repeating aloud or silently the positive sense of yourself many times, it becomes soon a natural, genuine and true thought. Do it even if you do not agree with what it says. Never mind the feeling, start by changing behavior, so will feel later. ”Fake it `til you make it”.

Affirmations can be spoken aloud or read silently to yourself. Affirmations should be pronounced in the present, it prevents the mind wanders back or forward in time.

Use Panic Assistance audio to coach you when you experience a panic attack and to help you learn to tolerate and control the anxiety symptoms. Also, can be used to assist with exposure therapy for Agoraphobia.

The Panic Assistance audio is not a relaxation or hypnosis audio. It is meant to be firm so as to get your attention while having a panic attack. Relaxation or hypnosis audios are not very useful during a panic. They may be useful to prevent panic, but this audio is focused on reminding you that panic won't harm you and that you can tolerate the unpleasant sensations of panic.

Emotion Training audio can be used as relaxation or you can use it to learn how to access emotions such as calmness or strength when you need to. The audio trains the brain to pair the emotions with certain colors and once you have learned the process, you can elicit the emotions you desire by imagining the paired color flowing through you.

Links to articles at ExcelAtLife.com to help you understand the cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach for anxiety and Panic Disorder.

The general idea of CBT is to repeat rational statements that challenge the irrational fears until the rational beliefs become stronger than the fears. Since it is difficult for a person to do this while having a panic attack, the panic assistance audio in this app helps you to do this. This self-help method can provide the coaching many people need to cope with panic. However, some people may need therapeutic help in addition to this.

Use the relaxation audio to improve your anxiety management skills. Learn to reduce stress and to relax your body using Qi Gong and additional relaxation audios by Excel At Life.
